Gen. 5. ID. Lee, in business letter to
.his Office, dated 4th inst, adds the fol-
lowing interesting notes of the opening
of the present session:
"We opened under most favorable au
spices. Every room in the dormitory is
full-207 in dormitory, and 40 from
Campus and Starkville- total 247. We
had to decline about 70 applications,
principally from counties already hav-
ing their full quota. The new boys are
as fine looking and earnest a set as we
have ever had, and we start off under
as favorable conditions as any previous
session Every indication points to
prosperous session. The policy of the
College is not to receive more than can
be properly handled. But in no in
stance are students from counties re-
fused, which have no attendance Pro-
vision is always made for students from
counties not represented or having
ANAL representation. The allotment H.
dormitory, is made on the basis of " pro
rata" distribution to counties, taking in
consideration the number of educable
white boys in each county. No prefer.
ence Is shown to any county, when ap-
plication Is made up to full nun, Der
allowed TO the different counties; after
that, as far as possible, according to pri-
ority of application, preference is
given"

Capt. Put. Darden In Scott County.

EThe following was received on 18th
ult., but was misplaced. 1t is still well
worthy of publication.
On Friday, September 9, Captain Oar
den, the Worthy Master of the National
and also of the Mississippi State Grange,
addressed the farmers of South Scott in
the neighborhood of Hopewell church,
in his usual eloquent way. He is trav-
cling under instructions of the Execu
tive Committee, charged with the duty
of explaining the principles and pur-
poses of the Grange. His explanations
are clear and plain, and his arguments,
showing the necessity of organization on
the part of the farmers, are simply un-
answerable. Being the highest officer
of the Order in America, he speaks by
authority. No one, after listening to
one of his addresses, can oppose the
work of this grand and noble Order
Those who think the Grange has accom-
plished nothing good. and that it is
dead, would do well to go and hear
Capt. Darden. He shows the Grange to
be in fine condition-growing numeri-
caIly and financially; that it commands
the attention of State and national leg
islation; that it has either accomplished
all objects it has undertaken, or has
them in fair way of accomplishment.
He shows that it seeks to antagonize no
other interest but to advance those of
agriculture; that in so doing it may
serve the interest of the entire commu-
nifty. He expresses the kindest wishes
to other Orders, and wishes them grand
success in every good work.
On Saturday he was cordially well
coined at Harperville, where he made
one of the most telling speeches of his
life-in favor of the Grange and far
mers' rights. He goes from here
through Leake, Neshoba, Winston,
Choctaw, Oktibbeha, Clay, Chickasaw
and Holmes counties.

Mr.. Carlisle Explains the Attitude
of the Two Parties on the
Tax Question.

In a contribution to the Forum OF
September on the important question OF
federal taxation, Mr.. Carlisle, who
stands at the head of the Tariff reform
ers. makes the following clear statement
of the issue, and of the attitude OF the
Democratic and Republican parties upon
it. The question for the American peo-
pie to decide is will they accept the
Republican plan of reducing taxes ON
alcoholic liquors; or the Democratic
plan of reducing them on the necessaries
of life:
The only debatable question is in
what manner shall the revenue and tax
alton be reduced? Upon this question
the two political parties are divided,
although there are some Republicans
who are inclined to take the Democratic
view. and some Democrats who favor
the Republican policy. 1t is clear that
il is possible to reduce the revenue with
out reducing the taxation, and equally
clear that it is possible to reduce taxa
ton to a certain extent without reducing
the revenue. The rates of taxation up
on imported goods might be made so
higa that all mportation would cease,
and the government would thus be pre-
vented from collecting any revenue
whatever, from that source, but this
would not diminish taxation upon the
people. On the contrary, it would
greatly increase their burdens, but they
would be compelled to pay the whole
tribute to the domestic producer of the
iutiable goods, instead OF paying part
of it to the government, as they do now.
To reduce both revenue and taxation
at the same time is the problem now pre-
sented, and the true Dem ocratic solution
is to abolish, as far as practicable. the
taxes on the actual necessarles OF life
and the raw materials used in their pro-
duction, and to revise, simplify and, In
proper cases. reduce the duties on the
other articles embraced in the tariff
schedule. The prime object should be
to provide a sufficient revenue for the
support of the government at the least
possible expense and Inconvenience TO
The people who pay the taxes, and to
impose the heaviest burdens upon those
who are able to indulge in the use of
Injuries rather than upon those who
consume only the common necessaries
of life. The REPUBLICAN SOLUTION is
TO REPE1L ALL THE INTERNAL TAXES

The Mobile & Jackson Railroad.

There has been so little said among us
about this new enterprise, that the citizens
of Jackson are not aware of what good Is
in store for our city by the construction of
this new railroad. 1t is to be constructed
pretty much upon the line of the survey of
the Mobile & Northwestern Railroad,
which was to have passed through Jackson
upon its way to Yazoo City, several years
ago, but which, by reason of financial dis
asters, was not built, except for about thirty
miles from Glendale, on the Mississippi
River. down to Clarksdale. There is moth
ing especially discouraging in this, as
evidenced by the construction OF the
Natchez & Jackson Railroad, with stinted
means and after years of hard work ; and
also the building OF the railroad from Can
ton and Kosciusko to Aberdeen, which was
originally chartered in 1S51-almost en-
tirely graded from Carton to Kosciusko
in l85l-but yet actually not finished until
1884. So, let every one encourage the new
enterprise which is being pushed forward
by some Of the most enterprisiug citizens
OF Mobile and of Mississippi. The new
railroad will cross the Northeastern, at
Hattiesburg, in Perry county, and the Gull
and Ship Island, about Raleigh, in Smith
county. 1t will pass through one of the
finest belts of fine timber IN the South,
enabling manufacturers OF pine lumber to
ship to the Yazoo Valley or the Great
Northwest, from Jackson, Miss, thus
supplying, IN a measure, the deficiency Ia
the lumber supply of the NorthwesI that Ii
growing more and more SO every year Is
indeed 80 great that sawmills up there are
being forced to move South because of the
scarcity and cost of timber in the North
Even now, loaded cars of lumber from the
Northeastern Railroad, by way OF Merld-
ian. may be seen daily at the illinois Cen
trail depot here on their way North. Ii
will cause jackson to become large lum-
Der market, an immense supply depot foI
supplies for the mills south OF US. 1t will
cause railroad machine shops to be erected
here by the new railroad, besides adding
largely to our populatioa from the EN-
plovees of the road. 1t will open a new
outlet at Mobile to our export and import
trade, all of which will help Jackson to
build up. 1t will give Jackson an oppor-
tunity to develop her wholesale and job
bing trade, as she has never done before
and with Pearl River navigation made
good ten months out of the twelve las u
s. engineers say can be done), she can have
more than one little steam boat in her river
trade. Then let our citizens awake to the
importance of the project and give cor
dial and warm reception to the Mobile and
South Mississippi gentlemen coming here
on the oath of October to open books ol
subscriptIon and confer with our citizens
for the building of the Mobile & Jackson
Railroad q. ID. BCsTAMANTE.

step. 1t is intended to prepare boys and
girls whose parents are not able to pay
their travelling expenses and board them
from home, for useful avocations where
by they may earn their support In after
life. The movement is intended to pro-
vide various kinds of mechanical work
for the boys, sewing and cooking for the
girls; and drawing to scale for both
alike. The Public Schools to attain the
highest point of usefulness should teach
something besides reading, writing,
arithmetic, grammar, etc. The school
of the future must train the hand as
well as the head, because training In
